Jacqueline Youman, 29, is charged with one count of cruelty to non-livestock animals and one count of cruelty to livestock animals.

Two Dallas officers responded to an animal disturbance call at a home on the 9100 block of Orbiter Circle around 5 p.m., according to an arrest-warrant affidavit.

The officers found a boxer and a pig covered in blood in the backyard of the residence. Both animals were "severely emaciated" and looked to be malnourished, police said. The animals did not have food or water available to them.

In addition, the affidavit says there was no covered shelter in the yard, leaving the animals at the mercy of the 22-degree wind chill.
